An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (47.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neumann.
Judged on this season alone, Neumann graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 19% of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 4.364 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 24 → 33). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, 37th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 29 Neumann is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Birmingham finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.8, Neumann carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
